He was born in Winchester to Azerlea (Pray) and George Barton and raised in Newton. He graduated from Newton High School and then earned his bachelor’s from the University of Maine. After college, he enlisted in the Navy and achieved the rank of LTJG.

He was a talented singer and sang with St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church, the Hingham Singers and in many plays throughout the South Shore. In the summers he sailed his boat out of Boston and Cape Cod and tended to his garden. During the winter frequented Loon and had ski trips with his family. When he was home, he was an avid reader of historical novels.
